Excellent cast recordings of classic mysteries

What made the experience of listening to Poirot's Finest Cases the most enjoyable?

Really nice casting, good acting, and good scripting.

What did you like best about this story?

These are some of Agatha Christie's most famous mysteries.

What does John Moffat and Full Cast bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I like to listen to this book while relaxing at home or to fall asleep if I'm travelling or having trouble sleeping. These books are ideal for that. I can listen to the same stories again and again and enjoy them.

wonderful

great fun

at first it was jarring because i am uses to the more recent adaptations, but once i got used to different voices from these old radio plays i loved hearing the stories played out with lots of humour and drama.

really enjoyable

The performances were great. Such a wonderful variety of characters. Really worth it. I'm going to download more.

Excellent performances

Would you consider the audio edition of Poirot's Finest Cases to be better than the print version?

No, because these stories are abridged.

What did you like best about this story?

Agatha Christie's books are always a pleasure, including the selections on this audiobook.

Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to a number and they are all very good.

Any additional comments?

I suggest reading the books first. Because these are abridged, if you are not familiar with the full book there is a sense of gaps in the plots. It is most noticeable in the ABC Murders, After the Funeral, and The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

A Treat for your "Little Grey Cells"

This compilation of Poirot mysteries is extremely well done. The voice actors do a great job of bringing the stories to life- and the music and sound effects enhance the listening experience. I like that these are radio plays instead of audiobooks- I love Christie's novels but these are much more fast paced. A few details get left out but the twists and turns Christie is known for are all still there. In this collection you get some of the best Poirot stories- my favorites being The Murder on the Orient Express and The Murder of Roger Akroyd. I'd recommend this collection to any mystery fan- it's a great intro to Agatha Christie's most famous detective and his most puzzling cases.

John Moffat as Poirot is always wonderful.

Would you try another book from Agatha Christie and/or John Moffat and Full Cast ?

Of course. I have a large selection of them already- this purchase was to upgrade some cassette recordings to digital. I shall do more and I will continue to purchase programs I don't already own.

What did you like best about this story?

MIchael Bakewell does a great job adapting Christie's work and the performances are always first rate. I love the books but this allows me to revisit them without committing a huge amount of time. They're great for road trips as well.

Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have enjoyed many of Moffat's performances before. In my opinion he and David Suchet are the best Poirot's ever- and I would have a hard time choosing a favorite between the two. Moffat is wonderful for this medium but he wouldn't work visually. His performance is spot on.

A volume two would be nice, but I probably have many of them already. I'd probably still buy it.

Any additional comments?

If you're an Agatha Christie fan the BBC dramas are a great way to get to know her stories, if you're not going to sit down and read the books themselves that is. They have the tone and flavor of her books and are beautifully adapted- even the shorter ones. The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd is a favorite book and radio drama, wonderfully adapted with great performances.

This purchase would cost nearly $70 if bought separately. The price here is great. Go for it! Buy it now!

Wonderful dramatisations of A. Chrisite's Poirot

Would you consider the audio edition of Poirot's Finest Cases to be better than the print version?

Well. these dramatizations are abridged, full-cast radio productions and as such, are amazing and fully entertaining.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Poirot's Finest Cases?

The sound effects, a full cast and the superb acting made this very entertaining.

What about John Moffat and Full Cast ’s performance did you like?

John Moffat plays Poirot's character quite nicely.

Great but...

Why oh why do Audible seem to be incapable of producing box sets which tell you where you are? There are 8 stories & all we get is Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 etc. What happens if the listener wants to listen to, for example, Murder in The Orient Express first? It is ridiculous not to break up a box set into the actual stories, or at least to give The listener a clue!The performances themselves are excellent, but I cannot give 5 stars due to the impossibility of choosing which story one listens to.

Firstly this is fabulous value for money and the acting in each one is charming and engaging.The word of Poirot and Captain Hastings need little introduction. However the magic and charm never fades.

Fantastic,but why not compiled in broadcast order?

Whilst you don’t need to listen to Agatha Christie’s ‘Poirot’ particularly in any set order, I do wonder why these two collections have been organised so randomly. Is there any reason to their order? It isn’t in book or broadcast order. The first set contain the better stories and are more recently dramatised.

Expect there will be a third, and possibly a fourth, compilation as there are a further 10 Poirot stories dramatised by BBC Radio featuring John Moffatt.

[Anybody notice the incorrect spelling of John Moffatt’s name on the ‘More’ compilation?]

Excellent Value for your Credit

Would you listen to Poirot's Finest Cases again? Why?

Of course. It's an excellent way to while away an hour or so listening to one of the Plays. 8 to choose from. Each story begins at the odd numbered chapters, so easy to choose the one you want.

What did you like best about this story?

8 Dramatiastions to choose from with the proverbial 'Jewel in the Crown' being, 'Murder on the Orient Express'. How can you go wrong.I have long enjoyed BBC Dramatisations and these deliver the usual expected quality.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Maybe not all 8 stories in one sitting but certainly at least 1 story per sitting.

Any additional comments?

An engaging listen. The stories are brought to life by the music and effects as well as the actors

A smorgasbord of delight

Would you consider the audio edition of Poirot's Finest Cases to be better than the print version?

While nothing quite compares to the joy of curling up with an Agatha Christie paperback, these dramatised versions of her magnificent characters and plots comes pretty damn close. The performances effectively explore both the sublime and ridiculous (in the best way!) elements that drive each of these stories home. They add just enough 'tongue-in-cheek' to drive the story and glamour to perfectly capture the ambiance of interwar splendour.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My enduring love for Captain Hastings is only deepened by the fantastic performance of Simon Williams, who captured his sweet naïveté without slipping into buffoonery.

Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listened to many of John Moffat's performances as Poirot. I enjoy the way that he not only shows the characters admirable qualities but also his irascibility and foibles.I was also pleased to hear casts that included many of my favourite voices on the radio and felt that they all excelled themselves. These dramatisations more than hold their weight with similar works by the cast.

Great set of stories for long journeys

Love these plays. Trying to find more of the same. BBC Drama at its best well worth the credit spent
